A Year With You

Jou bounded out of the car and looked over the place they would be staying. It was a huge old house that was breath taking. He skipped over to his lover and tossed his arms around Seto’s neck and kissed him deeply. “It’s perfect! Thank you thank you!” He bounced slightly and his lover chuckled and scooped him up. He snuggled into warm arms and kissed his lover again. He was thrilled to go on this trip with Seto since he and Seto were both all better. However he knew his lover wanted to spend the time with Mokuba. However Seto was willing to go if they just stayed the weekend instead of a week like was planned. He was fine with that. “You are so good to me.” He said happily kicking his legs and giggling as Seto carried him to the door in a princess hold. A lady in a formal kimono came out and bowed deeply. “Kaiba-san it is a pleasure to have you here. I hope you and you lover find every thing to your pleasure.” He looked at the lady then at Seto who bowed back slightly. “I’m sure I will find things as pleasing as I always do. Will you please have a meal sent to the suite for my puppy and I.” The lady bowed again her face glowing with pride while her graying hair held in it’s complicated knot.

Jou sighed deeply as he walked into the room. He looked around spotting the futon on the floor and smiled. He turned to Seto who was silently putting on the Yukata that was provided. He walked over and slipped his arms around Seto’s waist kissing the nape of his neck. “This is great. So do you want to lie in bed and snuggle for a while?” His lover turned and nodded. He frowned looking at Seto and his lover sighed deeply. “I’m just tired puppy.” He nodded and Seto kissed him softly then walked over to the futon and lay down. He swiftly changed into the yukata then went and snuggled into his lover. Seto pulled him close and they kissed. It was soft, warm and delicious. Jou sighed softly and long fingers gently started to run though his hair. He looked up and his lover looked relaxed and was dozing slightly. He smiled and pressed another soft kiss to Seto’s lips. His lover sighed softly and kissed him back.

Seto woke to the sound of birds chirping happily. He blinked sitting up finding the sun just making its way into the clear morning sky. The chill of night still clung to the air. He checked on his lover who was still sounding asleep. He stood and opened the door leading out to their own private spring. He took in the sweet cool smell of morning and sighed. He stripped his clothing and took a swift shower in the small stall then went and slowly slipped into the hot water. “No fair dragon how come you didn’t wake me?” He looked at a still sleepy looking Jou and smiled. “Because you were so cute puppy love.” His lover pouted but stripped stepping into the shower then joined him in the spring.

Jou straddled Seto’s lap and kissed his lover deeply. Seto gently ran fingers though his hair then yanked his back and sent nibbling kissed down his neck. Jou shuddered in pleasure at the odd violence in Seto’s act. His lover then pulled him into a brutal almost bruising kiss that made his head spin. “Seto.” He breathed softly and his lover growled biting down on his shoulder. He gasped finding it odd how tender and sweet his lover was last night compared to the abuse he was suffering today. He was impaled on Seto’s length and he was slammed into the rocks as Seto found his pleasure. He came calling his lover’s name. He sat there breathing in the steam of the hot water while feeling his lover holding him close. He stroked soft damp locks and kissed the top of Seto’s head. “I’m sorry puppy.” Seto whispered into his skin.

Jou sighed heavily knowing that Seto was angry with him yet not willing to admit it. “A little rough sex now and again is always fun. However I’m starving lover because we slept though dinner last night and I really need to eat.” Seto chuckled softly and stole a tender kiss. He sank into the warmth and the care. Jou slipped out of the spring and dried off tossing the towel at his lover. He slipped into the yukata then headed into the nice cool room.

Seto dressed and fallowed his lover into the room. He took Jou’s hand and silently led his puppy to breakfast. The owner of the inn smiled at him and came over. “I sent up dinner for you last night Kaiba-san, I was informed you were asleep so I did not leave it. I hope that was no problem.” He looked the lady over and smiled slightly. “No problem at all. Jou and I were so comfortable we slept all night.” The lady bowed and then sat them at a small table and brought out some fruit for them to munch on while the waited for the rest of breakfast. Seto watched his lover for a while trying to decided what he should say if anything. “Seto, you do know I love you right?” He looked at Jou who was staring at him with bright gold eyes and he smiled touching his puppy’s face. “Yes, just as I hope you know I love you.” His loved smiled and nodded. “I know you love me. I also know you are angry. I want you to know I wouldn’t be moving out if I didn’t feel I had to. It honestly has nothing to do with anything you did. I need to do it for me.” Seto sighed heavily and sat back looking Jou over. “I know that Jou. My head tells me it’s ok but my heart is afraid to let go. I’m not sure if I’m ready to be alone Jou. I still have demons I need to face and I don’t want to be left alone to face them.”

Jou studied Seto for a long time and he thought back to what he saw. He understood why Seto didn’t want to be alone. “I’ll always be there if you need me. I just think that maybe you are meant to face the rest of your demons alone. I think me moving out would be good for both of us.
